Lightbulb easy lawsuit to win: Walnut Creek safe storage law

Quote:
In an effort to keep guns out of the wrong hands, the city will begin fining residents who are found not to be storing their firearms safely.

Under an ordinance unanimously approved Tuesday by the City Council, firearm owners who keep their weapons at home must stow them in a locked container or disable them with a safety device.
https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/06/...e-storage-law/

I think this WC ordinance should be a slam dunk lawsuit (and TRO/PI) for CRPA given CJ Robert’s joke during Heller’s orals (turn on my bed lamp, put on my reading glasses… vs gun being ready for immediate use in self defense in case of confrontation).

If someone could pass this along to CRPA/Michel, that would be MUCH appreciated.

Not sure of the penalty aspects, but surrounding cities/towns voted this crap in as well. Moraga and Lafayette for sure.

Didn’t stop me from having weapons in strategic areas throughout my home.

I assume you’re a member of the CRPA. Just go to “contact us:” https://crpa.org/contact-us/

Nothing will be easy until CCP §1021.11 is declared unconstitutional!

No, I am not and funds are tight, thus the request. I have spent far more time equivalent on CGN helping the fight for CA CCWs than the CRPA membership fee. Hopefully someone who knows that will step up in my place.

The mercury link goes paywall for me.

A number of bay area cities have passed “safe storage” laws in the last few years.

These laws generally exempt firearms under the owners immediate control. The laws have been aimed at unsupervised firearms that are stored. Is the Walnut Creek law the same? If so, probably not a slam dunk to over turn.

This all started with SF, IIRC.

More from the article:

Quote:
Several other Bay Area cities have established similar laws, including San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Antioch, Dublin and Pleasanton. With the new ordinance, Walnut Creek officials hope to pre-empt a situation where a certified gun owner’s weapons are stolen by someone who intends to commit violence with them.



Those found breaking the city’s new law will be fined a civil penalty of $100 for the first violation, $200 after a second and $500 for each additional penalty.

Does not sound like a deterrent to me, but a feel good law from the city to say the like to harass gun owners for their constituents.

Yet, how would they prove that your gun did not have a trigger lock when stolen?

Correct.

Or even more of a problem, that you get robbed multiple times and your firearms are stolen.

The sh*theads running the town I grew up in are pathetic, lying pieces of sh*t. They have ruined what was once a great place to grow up and raise a family.

A feel good do nothing law.

This would be like a law made saying you cant drink alcohol on Sundays. The only people who will get fined/caught will be those who initiate leo contact or post photos/videos of themselves with a undeniable timestamp.
